Jenson Button returns to Formula 1 as a senior advisor to the Williams team for the 2021 championship.

One of the nice guys of motor racing, Button won the World Championship in 2009 with Brawn and will be rejoining the team where he made his F1 debut.
 

Williams have been struggling of late but new owners Dorilton Capital have been working behind the scenes to turn things around, investing in infrastructure at the factory, and hiring ex-McLaren boss Jost Capito as CEO - and bringing in Button, who started his Formula 1 career with Williams back in 2000.
 

 “I’ve really enjoyed getting back into F1 and seeing it change over the last few years. So this felt like the perfect moment to rejoin Williams – a team that gave me so many opportunities when I started my career in F1 – they gave me the drive, they nurtured me through that year, and it really was a very special year for me,” Button told Sky Sports F1.
 

“So this feels the right time to rejoin the team, and I’m excited about working with them to help this team back to the front. I think there’s a new sense of optimism, there’s a lot of changes, I think a lot of positive changes for the future,” he concluded.
